Felipe Dominguez, manager of Simulations S.A, awarded Mara Tamayo, the UPS librarian, a plaque which states that "eTech Solutions Corp. congratulates Universidad Politécnica Salesiana for increasing the use of eBrary"

Mara Tamayo thanked Simulations S.A and said "the staff at the university library will keep working hard to disseminate all the services it offers, as well as training users on the use of virtual libraries"

"This information is official and SENESCYT knows about it. The use of eBrary is well over 35% in all institutions and UPS is way above that. Additionally, tools like Summon as well as having bought books in 2013 have remarkably increased figures for UPS". Dominguez said.
